"A picturesque mix of traditional charm and immense wealth, Le Vieux Port (Old Port) is where the stern medieval architecture of Le Suquet towers over (and perhaps looks down upon) the glamorous rows of yachts lined up in the port.

The Old Port of Cannes is an interesting mix of traditional charm and immense wealth. It’s a great place to watch huge yachts arrive into town while having a drink in one of the cool bars that line the water’s edge. It’s an Instagram favourite at sunrise or sunset when the magical colours of the portside buildings seem to come alive.
Go for a walk on the old port to find out its daily flowers market and its second-hand trade in the week-end. It is also the starting point to visit the old town : the Suquet quarter.
Visit Motor Yacht Bettina on Jetée Albert Edouard (at the roundabout behind the Palais des Festivals), ask for Nic or Les, always a good place to stop for a glass of Rose . . .
